JANINE WHITLING

WEB DESIGNER | eLEARNING DESIGNER

I love design, I love working with colour, with form and with space, but even more than that, I love to connect with my clients and get to know them and all they represent. In that way whatever I produce reflects exactly who they are and what they do. And isn’t that the whole purpose of design after all?

Creating a website can be a process for some people, especially for smaller businesses or individual proprietors. It can be challenging when creating a new site especially because it asks people to come out of their shell, claim in full what they do and present it to the world. A big part of my job is to guide people in that process, learning to connect with their strengths and their ‘amazingness’, and settling into that transparency so that the site can be a representation of everything they bring.

With course creation and eLearning, my role is to take all your amazing content and help craft an online course that will best serve you and your audience. I combine the needs of your business with the needs of your learner to focus on a product that is interactive, clear, dynamic and engaging in all the good ways.

Whether it be a website, website content, eLearning course or any other design product, we will work with you to get just what you need in a way that empowers you into the future.

IN MY SPARE TIME …

I’m a bit of a shopaholic, especially with friends where we can hang, chat, shop and eat together.

My other favourite thing to do in my spare time is going to the beach. I so enjoy an early morning walk in summer, followed by swimming and sunbaking, and then a brunch at my favourite cafe in Broadbeach Urban Fish Market.

Probably the thing most people know me for is cooking though, and through the incredible partnership with Dean, we have a YouTube Channel called Living Food Wise. We post recipes that are gluten and dairy-free, with an emphasis on paleo and sugar-free recipes wherever possible. I especially love having friends and guests on the show, cooking up a storm together!

SOME THINGS I LOVE …

01. TRAVELING

Travelling the globe to experience different locations is such a joy for me. I adore jet setting to another part of the world with Dean, the best travel companion ever. Often we don’t do a lot of planning but read up on the local sites, and then just play it by year when we get there. It’s always an adventure and just so much fun mixing with all the local people.

02. HANGING WITH FRIENDS

Friends and family are a big part of my life, and they give me an abundance of love and joy. Whether it’s going to the beach for long walks, hanging out at a casual cafe or dining at each others houses, our get-togethers are so enriching and full of purpose. I adore them all for each of their special qualities!

03. COOKING

From a young age, my father taught me the alchemy of cooking (and I suspect many lifetimes of cooking too!) Cooking is so much more than the food. Fundamentally it is about nurturing, our bodies, our family and our relationships. It allows me to be in the present moment, connecting to the purpose of nourishment and the potential of those sharing the meal.

04. DEAN... MY PARTNER IN CRIME

We met in 1999 and our relationship continues to grow as we each grow. I adore this man, he brings me joy, laughter, truth, grounding, an amazing work ethic, consistency, fun, kindness, sensitivity, caring and more. He is the reflection of the love that is true. He is a rock in a sea of constant change. I love spending my life with this man!
